WESTMORELAND OUT OF DOCK. "A big job successfully accomplished" wis a, general comment at tiie Otago dock, Port Chalmers, on Saturday. Tlio comment had reference to tho big steamer Westmoreland, and to the fact that the extensive repairs to her bottom were completed. .The walr;i' was being, admitted to the dock for the first time since July 26 last, when the repairing of the Westmoreland. y/M commenced. ' Since then over 50 big shell plates have been removed from her .. bottom, repaired, and replaced, while estensivo repairing and renewing of iron work inside tho shell hag been also carried out. , The work Imb been dono to the satisfaction of a "host" of inspectors representing various interests associated with shipping. A. fine bit of skill has also been displayed by'the docli staff in shifting round the keel blocki and shores to facilitate the repairs to the vessel. The weight of her was upwards of 12,000 tons. Consequently the avoid' auce of unduo strain at any particular point, when keel blocks were being moved about' to enable the boilermakcre to deal with damaged' keel plates, waß a. vital frfctor, no doubt, iu the dockmaßter's calculations. The repairing of the Westmoreland ia'said to be the biggest jut) of its kind dono in the Dominion, and it is also said that none of tho big ship' repairing jobs done at Port Chalmers has ever had to be done over again. The Westmoreland came out of dock on Monday.

SCHOONER'S LONG VOYAGE.' The Belgian ■ schooner Ady, whioh left Suva for London on Ai>ril 28. and was recently posted a 6 mißsing, has just put into Panama in a badly-damaged condition, She will have to be docked before proceeding to her destination. Information to thiß effect was received by Messrs. John Burns and Co., Ltd., of Auckland, by cablegram on Friday. Tho Ady left Auokland early' in April last for Suva, ,and the voyage has thus occupied six months, five of 'which were spent in the 6000 odd miles between Suva .and tho caijal. The safe arrival of the Ady raisos the hope that the four-masted barquentino Lyman. D. Foster, outnard bound ftnm Nukualofa, which has just been posted as mißßing, may yet be Bafe. This vessel was in Auckland in March, and sailed from Nukualofa for San Francisco 'on March 26. Tho Lyman D. Foster is a muoh slower vessel that the Ady. It is considered possible she may Boon arrive in safety* at' Bome American port.

MAORI AND MAUNGANUI. The ferry steamer Maori, which ie undergoing her annual overhaul at Port Chalmers, is having extensive repairs made to her boilers, principally the renewal of the saddle plates at the back end of the furnaces. It will bo three or four weeks yet before the Maori will be ready for sea.

The work of transforming the Maunganui into an oil fuel burner is jirocceding very at Port Chalmers on account of the shortago of labour, and it will be. some time yet before the vessel leaves the hands of the repairers. The repair work on the Marama is also being, considerably delayed for the same reason. THE LAUREL WHALEN. The cabled statement that the American flve-'masted auxiliary schooner Laurel Whalen, en routo from Auckland to Vancouver, put into Papeete, owing to engine trouble, is denied by her chief engineer, Mr. Thomas Matthews. In a letter received in Auckland by tho laßt mail, ho states that the trouble was duo to stormy weather blowing the sails away, and causing tho deck cargo to get adrift, with the result that it was badly damaged. Referring to the vessels engines, he Btatea that they ran for 40 days, and the only trouble with thorn was a oracked cylinder, whioh'was replaced by a spare one carried. Tho vossel ran short of oil fuel, nut suffi oient wa3 reserved for her to make Pa. peeto under hor own engines. To resume ner voyage 'to Vancouver new sails will have to be procured, as well as oil fuel.
